Ch changes...

Sorry I missed yesterday.but Blogger has added some new features and templates and with anything new online there are always bugs to be worked out and some still have not been fixed yet such as changing font colors....
New look for the blog and new additions will be worked on further on my off days.

I won't get into the Devils shootout loss to the Rangers too much,but a positive and a negative on the game.
The Devils played very well in the first,not so well in the second and then decently in the third,but the positive was terrific play from the Kovalchuk-Zajac-Rolston line.
I was very encouraged by that lines evening.
The negative was Andrew Peters being activated to play two whole minutes.
I like hockey fights as much as the next guy,but to get that little out of an activated player weakens the lineup.
The Devils play the next two nights,so recaps after each game.

Boxing on both Showtime and HBO tonight with the biggest bout of the bunch on Showtime with the latest installment of the Super Six with Arthur Abraham taking on Andre Dirrell.
I like Abraham by a lopsided decision.
HBO has a rematch for the vacant IBF 135 pound belt between Ali Funeka and Joan Guzman.
The pair fought for the same strap a few months ago and Funeka was robbed in a decision that was called a draw in what might have been the worst decision of the year.

An additional good thing on Showtime is that Gus Johnson will be doing basketball and not tonight's fight.
An additional bad thing is Gus Johnson will be doing today's Butler-Kansas State game after Johnson almost ruined a classic game Thursday between Xavier and K-State with his screaming and trying to tell players "what they have to do".
Look for my list of my least favorite announcers coming soon and look for Gus to make a run for the top spot....

Forgot to comment on the Pirates sending down Kevin Hart.
Good move as the Pirates will be bad enough with a pitcher with wildness issues in the rotation.

I don't watch a ton of weekly Tv shows,but two new ones that I would recommend is Fox's Human Target and FX's Justified.
Human Target is very reminiscent of the late 60's-early 70's adventure shows and the opening credits with the theme really brings that home.
Justified stars Timothy Oliphant,who seems to be doing a pretty good Billy Bob Thornton impersonation,but it works in the show.
Give one or both a try.
